[Vintage-race] Fuel pump recommendation

[Mike/Donna Carpenter]

I have also had three of the Facet square and newer plastic ones fail on my Lotus Sevens.  I will not use one again.  They are garbage.

I am now using an original old Bendix blue top on my Series two (positive ground) and a VW type tube Carter on my neg ground series one.  Both work fine and I can trust them.

Facet has lost my business and i have heard many others who have had issues with them
